Paperback. Etat : Good. Tom Jones (1970) by Henry Fielding Macmillan | ISBN: 0333077393 Condition: Good (as sold by Crappy Old Books) If you?ve ever thought, ?I wish my novels had more mistaken identities, moral panic, sudden inheritances, tavern brawls, and a narrator who occasionally pauses the story to have a brisk word with me,? then congratulations: you are ready for Henry Fielding?s Tom Jones ? the 18th-century literary equivalent of a six-course meal served with a wink and a raised eyebrow. This 1970 Macmillan edition is your ticket into a world where reputations are fragile, trousers are tight, virtue is loudly advertised, and our hero spends an impressive amount of time being both good-hearted and spectacularly imprudent . Tom is a foundling raised in the countryside, blessed with looks, energy, and a powerful talent for getting into trouble at exactly the worst moment. In modern terms he would be described as ?chaotic good,? except everyone around him is too busy fainting, judging, or writing letters to say it out loud. Fielding, meanwhile, is not content to simply tell a story like an ordinary person. He strides onto the stage as narrator, clears his throat, and delivers little essays, asides, and moral musings as if he?s hosting the entire novel in his drawing room. You?re not just reading Tom Jones ? you?re being personally guided through it by a man who is delighted by human folly and only mildly horrified by it. And what folly! This book is stuffed with: romance that?s always one misunderstanding away from catastrophe, hypocrisy performed with Olympic-level confidence, comic villains who manage to be both menacing and absurd, and enough plot twists to make you suspect Fielding invented the binge-watch. It?s also far more modern than it sounds. Under the wigs and the formal manners there?s a sharp, restless intelligence ? a book that knows people are messy, mixed-up creatures, and that ?goodness? doesn?t always come with good decisions. It?s satire, it?s adventure, it?s social commentary, it?s scandal ? and it?s all delivered with that wonderfully smug, brilliant sense that the author is enjoying himself immensely. This copy is Good , meaning it?s got honest signs of having been read, which is fitting, because Tom Jones is not a book meant to sit untouched looking respectable. It?s meant to be opened, argued with, laughed at, and occasionally admired through narrowed eyes as Fielding once again reminds you that humans are ridiculous and that?s half the point. Ideal for: lovers of classic literature who like their classics alive and cheeky anyone who enjoys a narrator with opinions readers who want a long novel that actually moves people who suspect ?proper society? has always been a bit of a pantomime In short: Tom Jones is a sprawling, mischievous masterpiece about love, luck, and the fine art of getting yourself into a mess ? and then somehow, miraculously, surviving it with your charm intact.…
